Garmin Fenix 6 pro solar mainly because it tracks all my other metrics off the job and I use it for running, biking and swimming. It's pretty durable and has a wrist hr monitor in it
It's fairly accurate too. The chest strap hrm is much more accurate though and what I wear when working out with activities off duty.
I have the 6pro solar, it’s nice. Next one, I’m going back to the instinct.
Reason being the ability to wear more options for gloves while using the functions of the watch that I paid dearly for. The instinct owned prior to the fenix was significantly smaller in profile. Much easier to find gloves that fit over the instinct and still maintain the watches full functionality in regard to metrics that I value.
If I did not live in a climate that requires covering bare skin to protect from cold temperatures, it would for sure be the fenix.
I have (and love) a Garmin Fenix 6 Solar. It does all of the requested tasks and has held up brilliantly after 4+ yrs of heavy use unlike prior Apple Watches.
For truly accurate HR tracking, you really need to pair with a chest strap. This is the case with virtually all wrist-based trackers.
Garmin offers a variety of smart watch options but I can only speak to the older Fenix 6 I own. That said, I’d look at their product line to see which specs best match your goals then shop for sales since they are pricey but, in my view, worth it.
